For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
